Looking for fnum

I'm trying to hack the dropdownpaging on topic.asp. I might be missing something. Where and how is fnum defined?<

fnum is either 1 or 2 and is passed manually to DropDownPaging() which constructs the call to the javascript changpage function onchange=""ChangePage(" & fnum & ");""

look around line 475 to 490 and around line 700 for the calls to dropdownpaging<

I'm not getting it to show up and it could be the placement of the sub.
I have a sub where the dropdowndisplay is called:
sub Main()
... call dropdowndisplay(1)
... end sub

I placed the Javascript in the header and the dropdown sub above the sub Main. Nothing showed up. I then placed the dropdowndisplay sub below it and I still can't get it to show up. I know I can get subs to show up because the quickreply sub works fine within the sub main.
I did a response.write on a couple of the variables within the dropdown sub and none of them are being written. Somehow, the dropdown sub is not getting called. Any ideas?<

Are you calling the dropdownsub from within another sub ? I'm not sure, but I think that tháts the problem. Are the variables defined in the sub main (and therefor not global) ?<

Yes, it is being called within another sub. But the quickreply is too and it works without problems.

I think because it's late I don't understand the question. <

If you use a vraible in a sub without first creating it outside that sub, it will be destroyed when the sub is ended, you need to ensure you have something along the lines of:

dim variable
sub mysub()
    variable=value
end sub

Thanks Shaggy and everyone.
This bit was giving me the problem:
Code:

	if maxpages > 1 then
if mypage = "" then
pge = 1
else
pge = mypage
end if
end if
I moved it outside the sub and it works great.<
